Rooftop Shrine

On a rooftop near Etchujima, an industrial area, stands a small shrine. I assume that it's there to honor some kind of contractual agreement ("You can build on this land so long as you don't destroy the shrine."), but I wish the surrounding environment weren't so no-frills. A flowerpot or two ought to make the area seem more sacred.

About Me

Despite being born in Japan -- and having spent 80% of my life living in the Kanto area -- everyday, I find something about Japan that baffles/irritates/delights me. This blog is a collection of such photographs, my mild social commentary.
If I'm lucky enough to be able to go abroad, those photos will find their way onto the blog as well.
Finally, the seemingly random posts on films are a nod to the initial reason I started this blog: I want to write about film. My daily life simply got in the way.
